Activity-Based Care

There is more to good care than just handing out medications, assisting with showers and providing nutritious meals. What makes one facility stand out against others is often the level of activity that is visible to your visitors. So, understanding how care and activities work together can be a big part of making a facility successful. The fact is activities are not all games and crafts, especially in RCFEs providing dementia care and ARFs with highly active individuals. Activities can include dressing, grooming, meal prep, meal clean up and when appropriate, community outreach. Keep in mind that activities should be whatever is best for the individual and should not be what best serves the community. Please view the link for more considerations on Activity-Based Care.
